A reader submitted a question about whether or not to contact HR after you leave a company.
Q: I recently quit my job, because I could not stand my boss. I’m going to call HR today. Do you think I should just leave a message with a list of my issues? Or should I just let go of the whole situation?
A: I commend you for calling HR after you left, because some people just leave a job and don’t take the time to speak on their concerns. Looking over some of your grievances, I feel that it will be productive to call them, even though you have left already. You will have the peace of mind knowing that you had someone to talk to, and also you will hopefully enable others to not have to go through what you had to.
